Why Biden-Harris Cannot Defeat the “Terrifyingly Competent Trump 2024 Campaign”
May 29, 2024 Vol. XVII, No. 4 1:13 pm
Trump “martyred by Biden White House”
In April, Vanity Fair, a magazine of liberal culture, fashion and political opinion, published an article titled, Inside the Terrifyingly Competent Trump 2024 Campaign. As to Trump’s potential, the article posed the question, “How worried should you be?” Answer: “Very worried.”
The Vanity Fair article describes the Trump campaign as “ a professionalized operation focused on one thing: winning.” The winning message? Per the article, prior to Trump’s 91 indictments, he was a “one-line artist singing a tired tune that the 2020 election was stolen.” Now, thanks to all those felony charges like the “hush money” case in New York today, the article says that Trump has recast himself “as a political martyr being prosecuted by the Biden White House.”
When Trump looks into the mirror every morning, that’s who he sees. A political martyr being persecuted to the full extent of the law by liberal autocrats bent on forcing conservatives into ideological servitude through centralized “Woke” authoritarianism. We will teach your children as we please and no you don’t have a say. We will cancel you, shame you publicly and label you a racist if you dare have an opinion contrary to our “Woke” worldview.
MAGA voters see political persecution of Trump by the weaponization of the judicial system on multiple levels, federal, state and local. All reminiscent to MAGA voters of the Russian collusion fiasco during Trump’s first term. Corrupt FBI officials exposed who, per a three-year investigation, had a “predisposition to open an investigation into Trump;” inept FISA court judges who approved wiretaps based on “unvetted and unverified” reports from “politically biased sources.”
When MAGA voters hear Democratic prosecutors plead their cases against Trump, all they hear is House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, D-CA, whose arguments for impeaching Trump were so devoid of substance that they not only failed to get a single Republican House member to vote for the Articles of Impeachment, they failed to even get the unanimous support of fellow House Democrats.
No Democrat has done more to undermine the legitimacy of legal claims against former President Trump than Rep. Adam Schiff. The same Adam Schiff who claimed, “incontrovertible evidence” that President Trump had committed an impeachable offense yet persuaded only one Republican senator (Sen. Mitt Romney, R-UT) to vote against Trump of the twenty needed for conviction.
In the mid-May 2024 CBS News/YouGov poll, 78% of Republicans said Trump is “Not guilty” of falsifying business records to hide “hush money” paid to Stormy Daniels in an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential race. Why? Because Trump supporters look at judges and DA’s like Juan Merchan and Alvin Bragg in today’s “hush money” case in New York City with plausible skepticism; each as just another Adam Schiff engaged in political persecution by prosecution.
Plausible skepticism for all Trump indictments
Adam Schiff laid the foundation for today’s plausible skepticism among Republicans for any and all litigation aimed at Trump the day he chose to ignore Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s caution to the Washington Post, “unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that [impeachment] path.”
Because of Democratic abuse of congressional investigative and impeachment power, Democrats have lost the moral authority to have their legal claims against Trump respected. They exploited and discredited the judiciary so systemically in their attempt to bring down Trump that even if they get a guilty verdict in the “hush money” trial, all MAGA voters will see is their persecuted revolutionary leader martyred by corrupt judicial officials wearing “Woke” armbands.
As Trump gets stronger politically thanks to his 91 felony charges, the Biden-Harris ticket is getting weaker. In an April study of the history of presidential job approval, Gallup compared President Biden’s 38.7% job approval at the Q13 mark (three years of the first term plus one quarter ending March 31) to other presidents since Eisenhower. Eisenhower had the highest job approval at the Q13 mark of 73%, followed by Reagan, Nixon, Clinton, and George W. Bush (the younger), all with job approvals in the mid-to-low 50s. Everyone with a job approval at 50% or higher at the Q13 mark won a second term.
Of the four presidents with Q13 job approval numbers in the mid-to-low 40s, three lost their race for a second term, including George H.W. Bush (the elder), Trump, and Carter. President Obama, with a Q13 job approval of 46%, managed to improve enough by election day to win.
President Biden is at the bottom of the Q13 job approval list of all presidents since Eisenhower with a job approval of 38.7%, nowhere near the 50% range needed for reelection.
So, as the jury begins deliberations in Trump’s “hush money” trial in New York City today, remember, it’s likely to take more than a guilty verdict for the Biden-Harris ticket to defeat the “Terrifyingly Competent Trump 2024 Campaign.” The political reality is that whether the verdict is guilty, not guilty or a hung jury, Trump will use the outcome to raise more money than even his Fulton County, Georgia mug shot.
